Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter (smooth, unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
- Optional
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour (to slightly thicken dough if needed)
Instructions
-
Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (163°C) for 3-5 minutes.
-
In a medium bowl, mix almond butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
-
Add baking soda, sea salt, and coconut flour if using. Stir thoroughly to form a soft, slightly sticky cookie dough.
-
Fold in dairy-free chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
-
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or a silicone liner to prevent sticking.
-
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion dough balls about 2 tablespoons each onto the lined basket. Flatten each cookie slightly to about 1/4 inch thick, leaving space between for spreading.
-
Air fry at 325°F (163°C) for 10-12 minutes, checking at 10 minutes. Edges should be lightly golden and crispy, centers soft.
-
Remove basket carefully and let cookies cool for 5 minutes in the basket to firm up before transferring to a wire rack.
-
Enjoy warm or store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
-
Tip: To reduce spreading, chill dough for 15 minutes before air frying.
